What Summer 2023 Has In Store For You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Summer 2023 is a time of setting your intentions, managing your time wisely, and experiencing personal growth. Love and finances are the key themes for this summer, and a lot will be happening in this area of life. This is the summer to ask yourself the important questions and to rediscover what you want out of life. A lot of people will leave this summer with a completely different experience of life than when they began, and this summer is when significant astrological transits of the year are happening.

Summer 2023 Horoscope Predictions for Your Zodiac Sign

Cancer Season is when summer begins, and this is a potent time out of the summer overall. Neptune in Pisces and Venus in Leo both go retrograde during Cancer Season this year, and both are here to bring clarity emotionally. Venus goes retrograde every 18 months, and this year will be moving through the fire sign Leo, causing more of a dramatic flair than usual. Love is spicy this summer, and it’s about having light-hearted fun and not taking things too seriously. Be careful with emotional impulses, align with your intentions, and rediscover your love for life.

Jupiter moved into Taurus recently and will be going retrograde here on September 4th before the summer ends. Jupiter retrograde still provides good energy, but it may not be felt right away. Jupiter in retrograde motion can expand into overindulgence and false hope, and will overall be helping you find your balance between giving and receiving in your life currently. Try not to juggle too much this summer, and prioritize your well-being.

There is a lot to learn this summer overall, however, fixed signs and cardinal signs have more good energy on their side than most; and Cancer, Aquarius, Taurus, Libra, and Scorpio have an especially fun summer ahead.
